Ok, I thought I was fat, cause I let some silly numbers determine that. So, I decided to research and I found that IF was for me and I had every reason to believe it would work because it was scientifically sound, mote of that later, but I do not have much love of anything scientific, though I do love the truth, so anyway. I started fasting a few years ago intermittent not a long years long abstinence or anything, and when I started I was gaining weight, but I still believed it 100% so, I continued and although I saw no instant dramatic changes, I did start losing alot of weight, and I felt great, but then for some reason it stopped, and I started freaking out and trying almost anything and listening to "influencers" as if they deserve any attention anyway, so. I decided that I was being silly, and decided to go back to square one and problem solve. And my numbers did not match what was promised, and so I decided I must be an alien or something, because adding more exercise after water fasting for 3 days should not cause a glucose spike, and no matter how long I went without eating I never had and indication of making any switch to fat burning. My daughter is really really smart so I talked to her. I am now my absolute heaviest and need help. My dad suggested I do nothing, well, I tried that, unsuccessfully, and merely cut out the extra exercise, and fasted still. My daughter said, "You just seem rediculous to me. I am no expert on the body, but it seems like cells cannot go for a long time without glucose....they will find it. I would just start eating more and just trust your pat. blessing that you will be healthy and successful in your endeavors.
Out of others who had troubles with plateaus in fasting or not working anymore, they recommend "refeeding" and a mistake alot of masters make is that during their eating window they do not eat until they are satisfied. So, I have toyed around with my numbers (of calories) and though I struggle to eat enough, I have found that each time I weigh myself, I have lost weight... though not pounds yet, it is about .7lbs per week. And though, I am eating healthy, instead of trying to cut calories I am struggling to make eating healthy reach the number of calories I am aiming for. I am enjoying every meal!
I am also reminded of another bit of supporting evidence. I am not some freak. May people eat a whole lot for Thanksgiving and then sleep off their protestations of never eating food again, to find they actually lost weight. This is so common for me, that I thought it must be a day or two delay, and I will have gained alot of weight in about four days time from my overeating. (I bet what I am calling overeating is not actually overeating, but eating until my body is pleased and has enough to do it's work, now.) I have a theory that my body found that after the stores of glycogen throughout my body were depleted that it found muscle tissue a better source of energy than fat, but I have not tested this theory nor do I even know how to...
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️
